These are awesome! I have to make them in small batches because I simply cannot resist eating them all up!

Amazing recipe! Sooo yummy and tasty!!!!

I ended up only making 12..... and I had about half a cup of peanut butter filling left over! Maybe I didn't portion out the chocolate right. Still turned out so awesome!

These were indeed delicious. Mine turned out huge, because I used loads more chocolate than the recipe called for--so I have twenty-two (I doubled the recipe and ate two for dinner last night) enormous peanut butter cups lying in wait in the fridge at this very mo'. Also, I melted the chocolate and peanut butter mixtures in saucepans as I replaced my microwave with a toaster oven long ago.

This tastes just like the real thing! I made them for christmas presents for my vegan friends, along with the vegan peppermint patties. I get requests for more all the time! They are also easy to fancy up with toppings.

I made these for the first time this past weekend, for a birthday dinner get-together, and they were a big hit. Everyone thought it was such a neat idea and asked where I got the recipe. Messy to make and eat, but so tasty and so much fun!

I used the amount of chocolate called for and had exactly enough. I cut the amount of peanut butter in half (used powdered sugar, no extra salt) and still had plenty of that mixture. I used a metal mini-muffin pan with paper liners, and the liners peeled off nicely. Even the mini-cup size was so rich that I think a regular sized muffin cup might've been too much.

This is the second time I've made this. The first time I didn't review it, because I hadn't paid attention to the whole painting it up the sides part, and all, and they ended up like little peanut butter and chocolate sandwiches rather than cups...
anyway!
This time I used the semi-sweet chocolate chips by Ghirardelli with a little Spectrum shortening as someone recommended to make them a little smoother. I painted it up the sides of the cups, etc.

Turned out pretty good, the only thing I have to say is that both times I've made these I end up with WAY more peanut butter than necessary, and tend to run low on the chocolate faster.

I used mini baking cups each time so maybe that's why. I'll try using regular muffin cups cut in half as suggested next time and see if the ratios work out better...

I'm left with so much PB mixture though, it's hard to believe that will make much of a difference.

They are really tasty though, that's for sure and I'll definitely keep using the idea... just might have to alter the proportions a little... maybe I like less PB in mine than everyone else.

I think I am going to try making these, melting the chips with a little corn syrup next time to give it a "fudgy"er texture so they aren't so rock solid.

I tried this recipe out 2 years ago and had a lot of trouble. But I gave it a try again today and was very successful! I think my biggest problem was trying to melt the chocolate in the microwave. My microwave is particularly crappy so I should have known it would cause problems. This time I melted the chocolate in a double boiler over the stove and kept it continuously melting on a low heat as I put the chocolate into the cups. I highly recommend this as it makes the chocolate a lot easier to work with. I also tried a mini cupcake pan this time which I also recommend for portion control (! cause they're so yummy !) and also so there's more to share

Not sure if this is because i made minis but I only needed half of the pb mixture. The only real mistake I made this time around was not putting the pb in the middle with enough room on the sides for the chocolate to fully enclose it. But they really are delicious and I'm so glad I tried this again!

Ok, first of all these are really good! But I obviously dont know how to melt chocolate, I used a double boiler method but it was still pretty thick, so spreading was difficult and it made my muffin cups collapse. I also didnt have enough chocolate left for the top. With the peanut butter I used agave sweetner rather than sugar and it worked well, it also caused the pb to be a little thinner and softer but didnt affect the final outcome. So the pics are not so pretty but they are tasty. I would like to perfect the recipe to serve them to others. My daughter and I were making these together and we were laughing hysterically at our difficulties. She is taking some to school to her friends tomorrow. 2Funny
